I tried to spoof my location with Xcode for my Apple TV 4, with a blank app. As soon I did this my network connection dropped and showed an internal IP from the Apple TV (and not WiFi option, only ethernet). So, I hard reset it via iTunes and it still only gives me the option ethernet (there is no option to connect via WiFi). Even when I plug the ethernet cable in it does not work and says 'no network connection found'. Also I am not able to set get connected via the option to set up the Apple TV with my iPhone?
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? Or did I totally brick my Apple TV?
Steps I already took:
- Hard reset via an IPSW via iTunes.
- Called Apple Care for help (they do not have a solution, I can go to
genius bar to check it out: I'll but no free slots) - Restarted/reset router
- Different lan-cable/try to get ethernet connection via my Mac
- Settings back via Xcode, but it tells me I have to activate my Apple TV first (which I cannot do because I can't get internet to work)
Thanks in advance! Apple TV is on 10.0.1
Update 12 december: made an appointment with the genius bar for Wednesday.

Do a clean install of tvOS 10 on your Apple TV
The restoration process won’t take that long and iTunes will throw you a prompt when things are complete.
